MS Youth-Culture App Gets Gushy Advance Reviews

geo writes "Newsweek first reported this new Microsoft beta, threedegrees. The surprise is, Steven Levy, well-known fan of the Macintosh (and unfan of Microsoft) wrote something almost entirely positive. So did CNET news.com.com.com.com.com. Is it possible that something good is coming out of Redmond?"

Are you concerned with your child's Privacy?

[louzerr]

It looks like this software could be used, not only to bring a group of kids together, but also to spy on them. Does this concern anyone?

Ever since Microsoft introduced Passport.net, where they will store all your personal information for you (gee, thanks), and their new parental filters for MSN that require you registring your kids at passport.net, it's occurred to me that parents must not care very much for their children's privacy.

Microsoft is a marketing company - not a technology company. All their technology is a hack of technology that they've stolen or 'bought out' (stolen) from real technology companies. They want to know all about your children, because that's who they hope to market to next.

Please be careful with your children's future! Don't sell them out to Microsoft! For the sake of technology, and even your community, you should be doing as much to distance yourself from this shameless corporate hitler as possible.
